Research Grants for Faculty Associates

The
Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women's Studies offers grants
to support research in gender and women's studies by faculty Associates
of the Institute. The Grants Committee's policy traditionally has been
to award money to as many eligible applicants as possible. Typical
grant amounts range from $100 – $1000 however we will consider larger
requests. Proposals may be for such items as publication subventions,
research materials, travel for research, and travel to professional
conferences in cases where the applicant is on the program; research grant funding may not be used to pay for participant incentives. Grant
recipients are encouraged to present their material in SBAI seminars and
conferences. We ask that you acknowledge the support in publications.

When completing your grant application, we encourage you to keep the following in mind:

People from a variety of disciplines are on
the Research Grants Committee. Please make clear how your subject
matter is centrally related to gender and/or women's studies in a way
that is comprehensible to people far outside your field.

It is incumbent upon you to create a case for
relevance and to convey precisely how your research contributes to the
field. We will only support work that advances an understanding of
gender and/or women’s studies.

Research on female subjects does not automatically qualify.

Among Faculty, only SBAI Associates (not Affiliates) are eligible for Research Grant funds.

Receipts and expenses MUST be presented for
reimbursement within 45 days of travel or purchase. This allows us two
weeks for adequate processing time. Expenses presented after 60 days
will NOT be reimbursable as per the University’s policy in accordance
with IRS reporting guidelines.

Applications are due in October, February and April of each year. Refer to the online calendar for exact dates. Research grants may
be either for research undertaken this academic year or for research
planned for the following summer. Receipts should be submitted as soon
as possible but no later than one month after expenses occur..
